Profitable to the Last Drop: New Process Captures Valuable Components from Corn Fiber
Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Archer Daniels Midland, supported by funding from ADM, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the National Corn Growers Association are solving one of the biggest challenges in agricultural processing – how to cost-effectively extract higher-value products from corn hulls. The next step is to evaluate the new process on the pilot scale to determine prospects for commercial success. The pilot phase will begin in 2003 and will take place over 2.5 years. The corn fiber project demonstrates the value of the national laboratory to meeting the needs of American industry. This project demonstrates the success of a laboratory/industry/DOE teams employing advanced scientific research practices and equipment to increase the value of agricultural byproduct streams.
